Abstract:
|
Urban environments contribute to greater asthma morbidity among low-income Latino and Black/African American children. Multi-level approaches are needed to improve lifestyle behaviors within the context of geographic location to address inequities in pediatric asthma and obesity. This study determines the contribution of community-level spatial risks in a multiethnic pediatric sample of urban children and families. The novel features of this study are the inclusion of community-level spatial risks and lifestyle behaviors to examine the moderating role of obesity on asthma morbidity in urban children. Findings of this study may inform evidence-based solutions that address geographic needs of children and families from high-risk groups to improve asthma control and overall health outcomes of children.
